Question
Hello

I am Chaldean American from USA, I like to visit Jordan and Syria, but I never been there before, so I need your help. I want to go visit the Iraqi Chaldeans in Jordan and Syria, so I need to know the following:

1- Where do I find those people, which areas of Jordan and Syria have the maximum number of Chaldeans from Iraq?

2- Can you refer me to someone who will be able to help me contact the Chaldeans in Syria and Jordan please?

Thanks


Answer
Hi Fars,
Actually I don't know too much about Chaldean Iraqis in Syria, but I know that most of Iraqis in Syria are staying in Damascus in "Sayeda Zainab" area.

For more information about "Sayeda Zainab" area, see the following link:

So when you reach Damascus you can go to that area and ask for Chaldean Iraqis.

As for Jordan I don't know any details.

Wishing you happy journey
